As you all know, this is the first time I venture on this thing of blogging. So I get kind of lost sometimes. Hopefully, I have been managing to tips here and there, which will probably make this project possible!
See ya!

My favourite pieces of art
In my opinion, art is a kind of language. It can be verbal (books, quotes, lyrics) or non verbal (music, dance, drawings, fotos). I'm really fond of verbal arts, I like reading and writing. However, even being a person who likes words, I have to admit that there are non verbal types of art that strikes me more than a group of letters.
Dancing is one of them: I really love it, because it's not just moving you body according to the sound your hear, it's much more. It's about working with you body's limits and getting though them. It's about "feeling the music", as Patrick Swayse said in Dirty Dancing. And it seems to me that when the dancer is really feeling the music, the ones who are just watching can feel it too. I always say that dance and music are something contagious. So if they are not art, I don't know what else is!
The first video I would like to show is from Moulin Rouge. There isn't much dancing, but their voice is so beautiful and powerfull, and their acting seems so real that it doesn't fail to move me :)

The second one is a scene from Chicago. I think it is like the best musical scene ever!!!! Well, I'm a bit suspicious because I really love tango... hahah

The last one is a routine from the ballet The nutcracker. Actually, what I like the most about it is the music. It really moves me, I don't even know why... And as I love ballet too, this video is one of my favourites.

Well, that's all for now... I hope you enjoy and make comentaries if you want! And remember... "If you like dancing, then you where made to dance"
